Wearable Translates Sign Language Into English

FAST COMPANY - Sep 28 - Roozbeh Jafari’s contraption straps onto the arm of anyone who uses American Sign Language and translates the arcs and flicks of their hand and wrist into written English. The words are then sent to a smartphone for any non-ASL user to read. The device uses Bluetooth to send data from two kinds of sensors to a notebook computer, where the signs are decoded.
